Emily Dickinson - Life

Dickinson wounded deer



Poems by Emily Dickinson


Life
VIII.

A wounded deer leaps highest,
I've heard the hunter tell;
'T is but the ecstasy of death,
And then the brake is still.


The smitten rock that gushes,
The trampled steel that springs;
A cheek is always redder
Just where the hectic stings!

Mirth is the mail of anguish,
In which it cautions arm,
Lest anybody spy the blood
And "You're hurt" exclaim!

I love the 'Deer Drive 3D Action Hunting PC Shooter' ad (including free download!!!) that loaded (tee hee) with this poem. Proof that the machines still lack tact and are therefore a few years yet away from conquering humankind. P.
